how to install memory upgrade on laptop

DollFin — Thu, 12 Sep 2013 12:16:31 GMT

Hi everyone. I have a new Vaio SVT 1313L1ES laptop. It has 4 GB of RAM memory.

I have just bought an 8 GB memory ugrade from Crucial.

Because |I know that it is possible to install such upgrades oneself, I expected to see the RAM slot clearly visible and accessible when I removed the back panel of the laptop.

It wouls then have been a simple matter of replacing the 4 Gb with the 8 Gb.

But I could not see any slots when I opened the back of the laptop. I could see a corner of what I took to be the RAM module, but it was buried under various bits and pieces.

My question is where can i find installation instructions? Thanks for any help or advice,

Laurence

Hi DollFin,

I haven’t seen this model but according to the manual for this model the memory slot can be accessed from a compartment on the underside.

In addition, the specifications state that it is shipped with 4GB (onboard) memory and is upgradable to 8GB. This suggests to me that there is one available empty slot that will accept a single 4GB module to upgrade to the max. of 8GB.
